Thanx for the heads up, I've seen Hitman glass at Thick Ass Glass.com but now that the same quality can be bought cheaper at dhgate (just no sticker) why spend the extra money. Besides I'd rather support USA glass artists who care about what they make.

It only makes sense for them to move their prodo to china for cost reasons. hitman seems more like a marketing group now IMO. If only china could get some torch tubes together :brow:

Some interesting chatter in the glass world going on regarding a well known manufacturer having pieces made in China. May not be new news to some, but thought it deserved a space here.

Oh man, this is the sort of shit that could kill the brand completely (unless there is a corresponding price drop of course). I hope for their (Hitman Glass') sake that this is not true.

Those pieces above especially the top one has a really jenky looking downstem. How much do they charge for this stuff?

The 3 comments after mine on the IG post are talking shit about the straight stacks "janky" downstem lmao. it looks ready to snap. almost all of my dhgate glass have a better stem than that..

And i must add, the hitman rocket thing looks straight out of china.... i don't see how the people who put out the torch tubes can allow this shitty production...

are bates and bluegrass even working at hitman anymore??

So I recently purchased the CCG Hitman sundae stacker. Here is an album with some pictures. The glass is thick and it hits smooth. If anyone has the real deal I would love to compare.

function video?

I don't remember who it was on Dhgate but they were selling these the day Hitman posted first pics on IG from Chalice

This is super not surprising given that the sundae stack copies were on dhgate before the legit ones were on stores.

You can't really make that argument considering the pictures on DHGate were lifted from some personal social media account. The pictures clearly showed the "Chalice" Festival banners in the background, so it wasn't an original picture. Anybody can steal a picture and make a listing before they even start production, they just put "wait time 1-2 weeks" or whatever. The fact that functional DHGate copies already is kind of funny and a tiny bit suspicious.

That's fair, but I think that might be the only time that has happened before the piece hit the stores (well other than the sov collab which kind started this). Usually pics of a piece that has been out a while are stolen, clearly they had an inside scoop.

I would not have guessed this considering the absurd prices hitman charges for prodo glass. I would be super mad if I dropped a ton of dough on what I thought was an American made piece. Pretty shameful.

Pretty interesting to read some of the other things people are saying (not glassblowing related) about Dougie from Hitman.
Very shady dude
